Manners

I can remember when I was a little boy going out to dinner with my parents was such a treat. I admired how the table was set, the servers and the entire atmosphere and my parents reminded me even at the age of 6 how the importance of manners.

It seems to me today so very different in that while there are many people who do you have the forethought to exercise courtesy and manners there seemed to be an equal proportion of people who are very self-absorbed and entitled.

I think it's really important as a matter of one’s self-care to also be aware of how 1 can be of service to others, like opening the door for someone or letting the person behind you with much less groceries go ahead of you and so forth.

I believe that at this point in our global human society it's so important to think of how we may be in service to others rather than just only thinking of our own self-interest.

Nature Spirits

Do you believe in nature spirits? You know, to really understand integral health is to know of the innate connectedness of all life. There are 5 kingdoms here: mineral, plant, animal, deva, and human.

The Deva Kingdom is the realm of the nature spirits: the spirit of the air, the water, the mountain, and so forth. This also includes A subset which we are all familiar with but take very lightly, fairies, elves, gnomes, Pixies, brownies, sprites, leprechauns and so on.

Being aware of this integral kingdom of our beloved planet is nesting you in the natural rhythm and the cycle of all things. The way that it becomes real to you is when you open your heart to embrace the truth of your spiritual nature and to understand that integral health by necessity the mind body and spirit.

True integral health goes beyond a massage, a neurofeedback, and energy medicine session but rather facilitates your awareness and inner growth of this innate connectedness.

Our Current Cycle

I have studied rhythms and cycles of consciousness for many years and I'm often asked what is the current situation in the way that we are evolving?

As you know there are so many changes that seemed to be happening simultaneously that it can sometimes be difficult to catch up to what is truth and what is fiction, what is real and what is AI generated?

Ancient cultures knew about these cycles and rhythms of consciousness and while there may be a lot of chaos going on right now there's also a lot of opportunity to profoundly ground ourselves in our inner awareness, maintaining an inner focus while remaining outwardly flexible.

We are living in a time where we cannot afford to do otherwise. Any method like prayer, meditation, yoga philosophy and practices, and other spiritual practices that focus you inward is going to benefit you so greatly in ways that you cannot possibly imagine.

Going Forward

When you think about it, going forward is pretty much the only option that we have period I was meditating on this very thing in the morning today and I realized that we always hear about how our power is only in the moment and yet the only thing we really have,

I know that for most of us we may have some worry or dread about the anticipation of what things may come and some kind of attachment to the elements of our past that we feel have such a strong hold on us that it continues to define us.

But really, if you really think about it going forward is taking command of your own life, your thoughts, and really getting into what are the deepest and most loving desires of your heart and then acting on that. I think that's one of the greatest elements of self-empowerment is the inner realization that you really do have choices and you can really choose your response to life situations.

‘Tis the Season

You know, I love this time of year. In my personal upbringing we always celebrated Christmas as a time of loving and giving. It's always been a time of the sharing of your open heart and yes there's a certain amount of gift giving but it's more a celebration of love to me.

I realize that There are many cultural traditions that also celebrate this time of year from the perspective of the culture in which people were raised. I think that the emphasis that this is the time of the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the time when the sun ends its journey southward and begins to embark its arising to the north has taken on many meanings: rebirth, the coming of the new day the promise of the new era and so forth.

In whatever manner you celebrate this time of love and renewal please look beyond the flash and glitter of the ornaments and the presents, and look to the deeper meaning of the amplification of the love that we have for one another.

December's Birth Flowers: Narcissus & Holly 🌸🌿

If you're born in December, you're blessed with two beautiful birth flowers that perfectly capture the season's spirit.

Narcissus (often called paperwhite) symbolizes hope, renewal, and self-reflection. These delicate white blooms with their sweet fragrance remind us that even in winter's darkness, beauty and new beginnings are always possible. In the language of flowers, they represent good wishes and faithfulness.

Holly brings bold beauty with its glossy green leaves and bright red berries. Long associated with protection and good fortune, holly symbolizes domestic happiness and foresight. Its evergreen nature represents eternal life and resilience—thriving even in the coldest months.

Together, these December blooms tell a story of hope persisting through winter, of inner strength meeting outward joy. Pretty perfect for those celebrating birthdays at year's end.

Is telepathy real?

This is the topic that’s only very lightly discussed or even understood because it's in the realm of our intuition and our spiritual faculties. Telepathy has to do with the intuitive reading of not just the mind but the character of a person, a place or a thing.

When two people are talking, there is a level of understanding that goes on But I'm sure there is also a level of feeling that is happening during the conversation that informs you on a deeper level than just merely the exchange of the words themselves.

Our minds are conditioned to be very rational and yet our telepathic powers really are apparent. Invite 35 years of spiritual consultations I remember 1 instance working with this fellow whose second language was definitely English. As I was working with him Intuitively telepathically knew that he had a brother, that his brother passed away, that it was five years ago, and then I also knew the name of his brother.

How is this possible? It is because I have trained my intuitive abilities that go beyond only the rational mind to embrace faculties that you and I have that are mostly dormant in people but can be cultivated at any time period the benefit of knowing this is not to make you a spiritual counselor but to help you to comprehend and live in a higher level of awareness.
